The three-member tribunal dismissed the petitioners’ petition on the grounds that they failed to prove their allegation of over-voting.
The tribunal also held that the petitioners failed to call competent witnesses to speak to documentary evidence they brought to the tribunal.
This, the justices, said amounted to dumping of documents on the tribunal as they could not prove how the documents led to their allegations of over-voting.
